Notes:

...The Michael family traditional history tells us that three brothers living in Prussia: David; Aaron; and Daniel decided to emigrate to America for religious freedom. In Holland, Daniel married a Dutch girl named Catherine and the couple had a son named Nathaniel. Aaron never married.
...David Michael was appalled by the way the Finnish Dutch were treating the Indians and settled in Germantown near Philadelphia. Later he married a Delaware/Shaconee Indian and began to live with the Indians in Pennsylvania. They lived at Shomoken in North Cumberland County. They later moved to Huntingdon Co. where they settled near Frankstown at an Indian village. Their son, John George Michael, was born about 1735 and married Margaret Coleman on October 23, 1735. David's grandson Peter Michael, was born in 1782 and married Catherine Fetters.
...The Michael history tells us that Peter became an important Indian war chief due to his white ancestry. He was considered notorious by some. He is known to have lived in the Indian village in 1790 and 1800 when Congressional records were made. Since Peter and his Indians had fought for the Revolution with the promise of eventual rule over the other tribes, he was given the Ohio land as compensation, while the Indians received nothing.
...The land grant farm was located near the Tuscarawas River and was inhabited by many Delaware/Shaconees and some Seneca Indians. The Indian capitol and largest settlement of the Chustion/Delaware/Shaconees was just down stream.
...Peter and Catherine's house was located in what became Carroll County and remained in the family until 1924 when it was sold to the Greer Beatty Brickyard. the old log milkhouse built at the time the land was cleared for the farm was still in use in the early 1920's.

Peter married Catherine Fetters about 1801 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States. Catherine (daughter of George Fetters and Elizabeth Switzer) was born in 1771 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America; died in 1861 in Carroll County, Ohio, United States.

Takes Own Life
Pistol Shot Fails. Completes Task With Acid
Tuesday forenoon about 9 o'clock this community was startled by the announcement that Abe Shelley, a well-known character about here, had committed suicide at the home of John Anspaugh, the tile man north of town, where Shelley had been working and making his home.
The body was found by a young son of Mr. Anspaugh where it laid near an outbuilding. The young boy had thought that the unfortunate man had fallen and as he ran to his assistance Shelly gasped and breathed his last.
Dr. Bodey was called and viewed the remains and pronounced death due to carbolic acid poisoning. His lips and face were badly burned from the acid and this was thought to be the logical cause of death although there were several wounds about the face which were thought to have been inflicted by the fall. When the remains were being prepared by Undertaker Lamb at his parlor it was found that a bullet was embedded in the skull at the right temple. This later discovery complicated matters and Coroner Van Amburg was called to render a decision.
After the bullet was discovered a search was made of the Anspaugh premises but no weapon was found near the scene of the fatality although a revolver with two loaded cartridges was found in his other clothes up stairs. A bloody handkerchief was also found in the clothes he was wearing when he died. It was then recalled by Mrs. Anspaugh that the victim had a short time previously came to the house and gone upstairs. When he came down he sat for a time near the fire with his cap pulled down over his face and then left the house and was found later by the boy as stated above. These facts lend strength to the belief that Shelley had first attempted to kill himself by shooting himself in the head, and unsuccessful in this had gone to his apartments upstairs, placed the revolver in his other clothes and secured the bottle of acid with which he carried out his original intentions.
It is known that Mr. Shelley was a visitor in Toledo Sunday, where he had attempted to call up on Mrs. Boyd, a former housekeeper of his and who is now confined in that city in the asylum. It is thought that brooding over theses incidents may have been the cause of the rash act.
The unfortunate man was un-married and had for some time been making his home with Mr. Anspaugh. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shelley, both dead and was aged 46 years.

Notes:

MEMORIES... by Charlotte (Leeth) Beck
When my grandparents lived with us I remember grandma sitting on the porch drinking beer and eating saltine crackers. She would sit in the rocker, rocking back and forth, sipping on her beer and eating crackers until she got a little "tipsy" and giggled. Grandma liked to tell jokes and play practical jokes on people, but, grandpa did not care for either and would become irritated. I remember that she would never lift a finger to help my mother around the house, not even in child birth. My father said grandma was raised in a convent after her mother died but I don't know where or have proof.

Payne Couple Observe Three Events Sunday
On Sunday, June 18th, Mr. and Mrs. Levan Leeth of Payne observed their 55th wedding anniversary, Father's Day, and Mrs. Leeth's 73rd birthday with a dinner at noon to 40 relatives.
Seven of their eight children were present: John Leeth, of south of Payne; Ethel Maxwell, Auburn, Indiana; Charles Leeth, Lancaster; Edith Brown, Rome City, Indiana; Harry Leeth, Haviland; Rhoda Baughman, Holly, Michigan; LaFayette Leeth, Haviland, David Leeth of Auburn, another son, was unable to be at home.
The Leeths have 34 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. They have lived most of their life in and around Payne. Mr. Leeth is 84.

Newspaper:

—To many people, this coming Sunday, April 3rd, won't mean much. It will be just another Sunday. But to Mr. and Mrs. Leven Leeth it will be a very special day, for it will mark their 65th year of married life.Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are pictured above in their home one and one-half miles northeast of Tipton in Blue Creek township. They plan to spend the wedding anniversary day quietly at their home.
—Yes, 65 years ago, in 1884, Lven Leeth and Louisa Shelly were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the bride
s home, north of Payne in Paulding County. And looking back over those 65 years Mr. Leeth who celebrated his 93rd birthday March 17th, and Mrs. Leeth will be 82 Junde 18th, both agree that they were all good years and happy ones. And they still are, for both Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are in remarkably good health and fine spirits - although they admit that they're beginning to notice their age a bit now and then.
—Paulding County Native
Mrs. Leeth is a true Paulding County native, for she was born near Payne, and has lived here all her life. And although Mr. Leeth can now consider himself as one of the oldest residents in Paulding County, he is not a real native of the place, for he was born in Pike County, and lived in Logan County a number of years before he came to live with his family in Harrison Township.
—Mr Leeth still remembers when he first came to Paulding County in 1872 when he was only 16 years old. The old canal was still in commission at the time, and still being used for freight. However, it was not long before the last boat to leave Antwerp on the canal was loaded with lumber and made the historical last trip. Mr Leeth can lay claim to a distinction of sorts, for he was one of the men that helped load the boat for its last trip.
—Reservoir Incident
Outstanding among the recollections in his mind of the days long since gone by, is one about the blowing up of the reservoir, the waters of which covered the land of several farmers who had their farms taken from them when the reservoir was built.
—He well remembers the feeling and talk that led up to the decision to blow it up, the quiet well organized group of 100 men or so, who loaded a half ton of dynamite into a wagon one night, calmly set the fuses and proceeded to blow the reservoir up. The water poured into the Maumee River, the men got their land back, no one was hurt, and as there was no following investigation, the whole incident turned out very successfully.
—Remembers Civil War
Although to most of us, the Civil War is just something to be studied and read about in school, to Mr. Leeth it is a part of his memories of his childhood. He remembers the day an official rode up to his parents home on a bay horse to serve draft orders on his father and how his mother cried. However, his father did as so many of his time did-and paid the customary bounty (in his case it was $300) to a fellow to act as substitute in his place.
—As a result, his father was still around at the time of Morgan's Raid on the area around Pike County, and was among the number of men who stood guard over various bridges to prevent Morgan from blowing them up.
—Sixty-five years of married life have blessed the Leeth's with a family of nine children )five boys and four girls) and well over-believe it or not-one hundred grandchildren and great grandchildren. In addition to this amazing figure, they claim three great-great-grandchildren.
—The children are: John Mathias, at home; Ethel, or Mrs. Frances Maxwell, near Fort Wayne; Charles Henry, West Manchester, Ohio; Annie Edith or Mrs. Johnas Brown, Rome City, Indiana; Harry Lindley, Fort Wayne; Rhoda Velta, or Mrs. Alfred Baughman, Holly, Michigan; David Edward, near Payne; and Lafayette Elias, Briceton. A daughter, Gertrude Louisa, died.

Newspaper:

—Mr. and Mrs. Leven Leeth of near Tipton observed their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary on Sunday, April 3. They were married in 1884, at the bride's home, north of Payne. She was the former Louise Shelley.
—Mr. Leeth was 93 years old on March 17, while Mrs. Leeth will be 82 on June 18.
—Mr. Leeth was a native of Pike county, but has lived in Paulding county since 1872.
Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are the Parents of five sons and four daughters--John Leeth, at home, Mrs Francis Maxwell of near Fort Wayne, Charles Leeth of West Manchester, Mrs. Johnas Brown of Rome City, Ind., Harry L. Leeth of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Alfred Baughman of Holly, Mich., David Leeth of Near Payne and Lafayette Leeth of Briceton. A daughter, Gertrude Louise is deceased.
